Hmmm. political photos have a lot of subtexts.. Let analyse:
1) Wearing a knife to represent Russian military might
2) The cross to show commitment to the Orthodox Church/ no gays allowed etc.
3) No shirt to scare the bears away
4) Fishing rod to represent Russias independence and natural resources
5) Working style trousers to represent Russias strong down-to-earth working style
I could go on...
I wouldn't be surprised if this photo turns out to be iconic.
(not sure if I phrased that correctly, but you get the gist)
